MARINE NOTICE No. 97 of 2013
Royal Canal – Dublin
Towpath Closure
Level 1 – Binns Bridge to Russell St
Waterways Ireland wishes to advise that the above section of canal towpath on Level 1 of the Royal Canal Dublin has been closed to the public due to a wall slippage that occurred following heavy rainfall on Wednesday night.
Electrical and gas services run along the towpath so it has been closed as a precautionary measure until repairs are carried out. However, navigation will remain open as normal throughout this period.
Waterways Ireland apologises to its customers for any inconvenience caused.
